Bit of wire wool, metal polish and some elbow grease on this fine sunny day means the wheels now look a lot better, some of the hub caps are flaking in places but for now they look great.



And after that we gave him a treat and took him to the beach



Must sort out that missing bolt on the number plate before the plate falls off and we lose it.

Another lovely sunny day so a bit of a wash and spruce up



And then off to the beach



The dogs enjoyed it anyway, those rear seatbelts work great :)

Santa has been early with a few bits and pieces









Box contains headlights, taillights, indicators, trim, door handles, bonnet lid handles and other stuff I have no idea about.

Also got 5 wheels, 2 doors, 2 wings and again, some other bits I'm unsure about stashed away in a container, no room in the house :)

Work starts tomorrow cleaning and fitting the interior and then hopefully get the new bumpers on and then take him out and show him off :)

After a quick scrub of the new interior it was outside and 30 seconds later the car looked like this



Can't quite believe how easy that was :D

Not much longer after that, this happened



And a little later this:





Didn't take long at all, I thought it was going to be a days worth of work, not less than an hours worth.

Once that was sorted it was onto the bumpers, back one off and on no problem



Front one had siezed bolts and needed fettling



then obviously had to dash off and buy new bolts, but finally



All sorted, that was it for today but still more bits to add on Sunday, headlights & trim and some new seals. :D

Nice one. It looks much better with the Chrome bumpers on I think.

May be throwing a bit more at it tomorrow, not decided yet :wink:

Thats why beetles are so cool, none ever look the same and owners put their own mark on.
Good on ya, I think that looks pretty cool.

Cheers, it does look cool (from a distance) As long as no-one looks too closely at the lines, slight bleed under the masking. :wink:

OK, now I've started I can't stop, someone take the brush away :oops: :wink:





Looks brilliant from that distance, may need one more coat when you see it close up, but I'm liking the rough look as it matches the rest of the car.

Think that's the outside sorted, although I do have some wheels in need of paint.

Just the starting problems and the electrics to go for now, once Wayne gets a chance to pop over and take a look and see what he can do. :D
